I'm so excited about our 500,000 taxa milestone on iNaturalist! At a time when global biodiversity monitoring is more important than every, iNaturalist is the only initiative on Earth currently capable of cataloging hundreds of thousands of species within a single year.
We've passed 500,000 Taxa! Thanks for helping us record nearly a quarter (23%) of all described species globally!

Exciting example of using iNaturalist for the Early Detection of Invasive Species in this month’s highlights!
The first records of the invasive elm zigzag sawfly in Minnesota were reported via iNaturalist! Check out the story in this video, and why records like those from iNaturalist are important for biosecurity.
